- We are looking at the town's last moments as we have always know it as the lava from the second fissure is about to burn down the first residential houses. It was evacuated last night when the earthquakes started so there have been no injuries but it's clear that we are going trough a terrible event and the future of the town looks bad. When this upload is ready, I'm off to Reykjavik from there I will do my report as long as I have to. Check the links until then.

Thank you for visiting the Just Icelandic Channel.
Greetings from Iceland. Gylfi
RIP for the poor man who fell into the fissure and my condolences to everyone who loved him.
Lol😂😂😂 erm snowflake
@@Heyiya-if did you know him ? Well people die all the time,why don't you send sympathy to everyone that dies you snowflake 😅
rip to this man and prayers for sll property and other lives in danger
He saved the Towns people
@@Heyiya-ifwhat task?
I’m so sorry Gylfi. Thank you for keeping us informed. Please stay safe. Love to Iceland from 🇺🇸
Unfortunately, natural disasters are increasing rapidly. We all need to be prepared to face them. Learn what to do in different disasters, prepare emergency evacuation backpacks, and at least a week's supply of food and water in case of a loss of electricity, water and heating.
But the most important thing everyone needs to do now is to start talking openly about our biggest problem - climate and the true cause of its change - 12,000-year cosmic cycle.
All the details and solution on how to avoid the demise of the planet and all of humanity are voiced here: "Global Crisis. The Responsibility"
Bollocks .
@@thomassmith4678 What we really need is a Arificial intelligence that removes brainded comments like that. Maybe one day I get my wish.
@@thomassmith4678 Wait, are you saying global warming caused this?
@magnismarason3379 These changes are not related to global warming, human activity, CΟ2 and Greta's tαΙes. Carbon taxes and limiting emissions will do nothing.
I am so deeply sorry for you , Gylfi, and the people of this historic village. It must be horribly disheartening for you and the villagers to see this new fissure opening up. Thank you for your excellent reports. Be extremely careful in that area, great photo journalism isn’t worth it if you are harmed in the process. Concerned from Vancouver.
would have been instant death "RIP"
Stay strong Iceland. Compassion sent for your hearts.
Appreciated
@@JustIcelandic I can not imagine what you & your neighbors are going through at the moment! All the very best to you during this challenging time!
My heart goes to the people of Grindavik and Iceland. Drive carefully!
Will you condemn Hamas?
@@mortaljorma69 WTF are you brain dead?? what does your comment have to do with this disaster???? Stick your politics somewhere else!
@@mortaljorma69 Yes, and I condemn you too. You're a horrific person.
@@mortaljorma69 I condemn Hamas & I condemn Bibi Netanyahu.
well a good side to this ... the roads wont be icy ...
From one formerly devastated city in Christchurch NZ to your town in Grindavik, we are so sorry to see what is happening and we are with you all Gylfi and the people of Iceland. Kia kaha - in Mãori this means we wish you strength.
Kia kaha... I don't know why but that just made me cry. what a beautiful word.
Things like that are only going to get worse (Matthew 24:7, KJV).
It was saddening to hear about Ludvik Petursson. I hope he did not suffer, and I hope his family is able to bear the pain of his passing. Keeping the wonderful people of Iceland in our hearts.
Awkward to give a thumbs up to such bad news, but it is of course to thank you, Gylfi, for the update and to encourage you at what must be a very challenging time. Safe travels.
As horrible as it is to lose homes and property, it's good to know that the families of Grindavik were all evacuated and safe. Love and prayers for the family of the worker who was lost. Hoping for the best outcome for the town. Thank you for your coverage!
USA Suffolk Virginia here. This is incredible footage and narrative. The scenery is beautiful despite the open fissures on the edge of Grindavik. I am praying for all of you.
Thank you for the update, stay safe , love from Canada
Thank you very much, appreciated
prayers for the people of Grindavik and all of Iceland
Sincere condolances from the UK, thankful all residents are safe and we are so sad for the worker who lost his life this week, god bless his soul, family, friends and coworkers.
The cycle of Planet Earth is an amazing specticle, a continuous cycle of destruction and birth.
Gylfi I'm sorry, I can hear the sorrow and pain in your voice, you have such a connection to Grindavik. I hope the damage will be minor and things will stop quickly. Thinking of you and of all the residents of Grindavik, very tough time right now.
The thing is, even if the eruption stops quickly and destruction is minor the town is still in danger of new eruptions. So in a way it would be better to think the town is lost.
What a great loss! I pray for the residents of that precious fishing town. God help you in new beginnings. 🙏🏼❤️💯
Such sadness Gylfi, I was really hoping you guys would win the battle to save Grindavik! Sorry to hear of the loss of the contractors life and sympathy to his family. To yourself and all the people of Grindavik stay safe n well on the Beautiful Volcano Island ICELAND. TFS, GB :)
Grindavik isnt gone just yet. Battle isnt lost, but damage has been done and will continue to accumulate. Only time will tell how this ends.
Yeah not over till it's over hoping for the best outcome.@@magnismarason3379
I am saddened by these events and all my thoughts are with the people of Iceland that are going through this. My thoughts are with all of you. After a decade of knowing my Icelandic friends, I am never without hope though. You are all so much stronger and resilient than you give yourselves credit for. You have fire and ice running through your veins and I just know that you all will manage these times to the best of your abilities and come out stronger. Hugs to all of you and know that you have friends around the world.
An awful situation 😞. I know that Grindavik holds a special place in your heart, Gylfi, so my thoughts go out to you and all the residents who have had this visited upon them. Thoughts and best wishes also to those brave people working tonight on a berm to try to save the western part of town.
It's a lot of lava coming down so it's not ease to defend the west part, but we have some mighty good people working there now
It breaks my heart to see the lava pushing forward and the residential area burning. I cannot imagine how horrible it must feel to sit infront of your screen and be forced to watch your house burn down live.
I hope that the lava is not going much further and also that there might be some governmental support for those affected.
Heartfelt sympathy for the man who died. Horrific conditions for those who lived in that area. Comforting to know that all evacuated in time.
Iceland is literally a lava field, it was inevitable.
Lol the government can’t support shit right now
Time to move, afterall,living on a volcano is not the brightest thing to do.
❤😭
Sorry for this grim news for Grinavik and the people of Iceland. As always - safe travels.
Really sorry Gylfi, sending love to all who live in and/or love Grindavik and the Grindavikings. Thanks for the update, this sounds really rough on you. Safe travels, and love to Iceland from the UK
Sending my deepest condolences to those who have been and those who will be affected by this tragedy.
I think we forget that this isn't entertainment. This is real life affecting real people. Just thinking about that man falling into a fissure makes me sick.
Gylfi, I'm so sorry. Hang in there, man. ❤
Sending love and prayers from California! Stay safe! ❤
Dear Gylfi, dear Iceland,
Our hearts bleed with yours, our tears roll with yours.
Love and thoughts.
Oh Gylfi I’m so crushed for Grindavik and her people; all the hard work that’s gone into protecting the town and nature just says No! I will be praying for Iceland’s people as they grapple with this difficult trial😥 please stay safe, my friend🤗
Dear Just Icelandic~
May you and the beautiful people of Iceland - especially Grindavik - feel the love and support from out here in the great unknown. I’m just a viewer from the US northeast, but I am overwhelmed to think what is happening right now. I watched Shawn Willsey’s drone livestream earlier but could not watch his second flight - too devastating.
Be well and be safe in your travels. Godspeed….
Excellent report. Best wishes to you and your fellow Icelanders from Colorado USA
Prayers lifted for the entire community. Sending caring love and prayers to Iceland from New Mexico, USA
Thank you very much, appreciated
Thank you for this update. I am so sorry to hear that this beautiful fishing village is facing such incredible hardship.
Sending love from the High Desert in Oregon, surrounded by the Cascade Mountains.
Our demographics here are built on previous volcanic activity. What you are experiencing could happen to us. Our mountains are dormant but not dead. Mount Hood shows seismic activity from time to time. The South Sister has a growing bulge on the West side. My guess is; it’s not over until they say so.
Love and light to you all❤
My understanding is they're not all dormant at all. It's just been. some time since they've erupted. Mt. St. Helens showed that in the '80's. I'm not trying to be an alarmist, but I've seen a few documentaries that says the tectonic plates that the cascades are part of will, at some time, produce earthquakes and tsunamis like nothing the west coast has ever seen. As bad if not worse as the Alaskan earthquake in the 60's, but more widespread.
@@dod2304 I get where you are coming from. Someday this all could happen. Dormant just means inactive so right now they are dormant not dead. If you look at the USGS EARTHQUAKE App you can see all the earthquakes in real time around the World. I grew up in the Central Coast Range Mountains here in Oregon. I wouldn’t say you’re an alarmist. We hear this all the time. The plates are always moving real estate around and that is how hills and mountains are formed. When Mt. St Helen’s erupted in March of 1980, it was just so incredible to see that plume of ash move through the sky on just the most beautiful sunny Sunday morning. I shall never forget it. Now I live on the East side of the Cascade Mountains and I can see Mt. Bachelor, Broken Top, Mt. Washington, Mt Jefferson, the Three Sisters from my home. If I want to drive a couple of miles North Mt. Hood comes into view. I live in one of the most beautiful parts of Oregon and it takes around 30 minutes to drive up to Mt. Bachelor if you want to go skiing. In the Summer you can ride the lift to the top and on a clear day you can see Mt. Shasta in California. I do hope that we don’t have anymore eruptions, earthquakes or tsunami’s anytime soon. We try not to think about it anyway. My heart goes out to all the people in Grindavik right now.
Thank you for the update. I'm so sorry for the people of Grindavik, since the situation doesn't look good for the town. Also, I'm very sorry for the family and friends of the person that was lost in the crack. That's such a tragic event. Drive safely.
Sending heartfelt thoughts to the people of Grindavik for their terrible loss. Knowing the strength of the Icelandic people I hope they can salvage something from their town and return to peace and prosperity. 🇮🇸🇬🇧❤
I am so sorry Sir. Please stay safe. Prayers for you from Oregon USA
So sorry to hear all of this. This is difficult to digest. Hopefully everyone is out safely. Apparently there will be property loss. However as long as everyone is safe the material things can be eventually replaced. stay safe in your travels. We appreciate the updates and education we receive from you. Prayers and good thought to the people of Iceland.
Not sure how it is difficult to digest when the entire town is built on a lava field.
@@ThyalwaysseekThe whole country is full of volcanoes, these places were settled in ancient times. It’s not like they just decided to build there. Show some compassion for people’s suffering, it’s not difficult if your family were suffering with a natural disaster, which honestly can happen to anyone on the planet, and is happening right now all around the world, some on a small scale, others with a much larger scale. You will find your life is better when you show some compassion towards others.
This is such a sad situation for everyone involved. My thoughts go out to the people of Grindavik and Iceland. Safe travels Gylfi and stay safe. Thanks for the update.
My sympathies to you and all residents of Grindavic for what they have lost.
It's sad, but are only so many things within our control when dealing with volcanos. I'll be praying for the people and their safety ❤
Just saw the first house cathing fire... disaster in slow motion... Imagine being the owners seeing this in real life... horriffic.
Prayers for all those affected by this natural disaster!
I am so sorry this is happening. Thank you for this summary, this was brilliantly done. God bless you and God bless Iceland and all of it's people. Best wishes from the UK. Please stay safe xx
It's a terrible event...you and your people endure so much in the climate of your country..then to have this added trouble..my most sincere condolences...
May you all find safety...love from America 🇺🇲...
🌿🌿🌿
I'm so sorry for the people of Grindavik. I hope the extra time allowed everyone to collect their precious belongings and perhaps not all hope for the town is gone. When volcanoes are involved, we humans really are at their mercy. The earthquakes must be very unsettling too. Wishing all the best outcomes for Icelanders 💚💚
Prayers and thoughts to your entire Icelandic family.
Prayers for Iceland and especially for all of the Grindavik families and those who depend on the town for employment.
Thank you very much, appreciated
So sorry for Grindavik people. Stay strong. Regards from 🇧🇻
Thank you very much, appreciated
Stay safe Gylfi
Prayers for all. My family's love goes out to Iceland. We got the privilege to live in Keflavik at the US Military base back in 1993 for 2 years. Such a beautiful country and Icelanders are so kind and friendly.
I saw you in the chat of Shawn Willsey's live stream yesterday. Please know that the trolls posting insensitive comments do not represent the majority of people - our hearts go out to you and those affected by this disaster.
I am so sorry for the people who are risking of losing their homes. Thank you for the update
You're probably on the road, now. I pray you have safe travels. My heart goes out to you and the people of Grindavik. We're with you however we can be through this journey.
Thank you for all you do, Gylfi.💜🍀
Prayers that no lives are lost. And no one gets hurt!
Thank you for keeping us informed.All the best to you!Here is Canada we feel for the Icelandic people and wish you to be safe.
Thank you very much
Thank you for the update, Gylfi. As someone with family in and around Reykjavik, I appreciate your in depth information and drone footage. I know I can count on you for accurate information. My sister and I visited family in October-early November and have been following this news hoping for a miracle for Grindivik. My heart goes out to the families and I hope that all people stay safe.
Such a sad situation. Bless you all. Keep safe please. 🙏🏼
Prayers many prayers to all of you. You have been in the heart of many throughout this challenge
You are strong!❤
Thinking of our Icelandic friends hope you all stay as safe as you possibly can fingers crossed from the UK 🇬🇧
Prayers for the man who was lost to this disaster and all his family and friends.🙏. Prayers, too, for all the people who had to evacuate from the town. 🙏
Any mention of supernatural forces just demonstrates that you're massively off your head.
Hello Gylfi, I'm following from this morning, so sad for the people in Grindavik 😖
Prayers and love from Denmark
From Florida, USA, so sorry to hear of this tragedy. I hope the people of Grindavik are safe and Iceland can recover from all of this.
I am so sorry that this is happening, I have been praying for the wonderful people of Grindavik since I started hearing about this in November. I camped there in September, and walked the peninsula park in early morning and had eaten dinner in town the night before. I was captivated by how friendly the people were here, and how charming the town was, I am heartbroken that all the effort has been over come by mother nature. I will be praying that the eruption ends soon, and all of those folks can get back to life soon.
I'm so sorry for all the suffering Grindavik is facing right now... Its sad that the fisher got the town... God be with you all in the days ahead...
Ran into this content by accident. I visited Iceland once a few years ago and fell in love with the landscape and the people. My condolences to the family of the person who fell in. Hoping as many as possible stay safe, including the OP
Fascinating, yet unpredictable, Iceland
Thank you for presenting this in the english language. Your pronciation is pretty good. I understood you. I do not know if you have a version in German. Not my native tounge, but the only other language I can squeak by with. As a persom native and living in the US, Please continue putting your content out. English as a second language is somewhat problematic. Everyone reading this whom speaks a different primary language knows this. Nature will move on with or without us. God speed kindness and support for the fellow human beings, (our world family), who are living through this.
I am so so sorry for what is happening to your town. It is simply unimaginable what you’re all going through right now.
My thoughts goes out to all of you on Island.
Greetings from 🇩🇰
Thank you very much, appreciated
Before going to bed last night one of the webcams streaming live on YT was recommended to me. This was about an hour after the first fissure opened up. Knowing nothing else than what I saw on the screen I did not think it would be a very good night for Grindavik.
Thank you for your update. The future is still so unclear and the end no where in sight. May you all have the strength to continue on.
This is horrible news! I was praying that the town would be spared. Did everyone get out safely? Hopefully the eruption will not last long!
Drive carefully Gylfi, thanks for uploading ❤
We are so sad to see this! Thank you for your most informative updates and insights!
Gylfi, over the months, I have been watching your wonderful videos and fell in love with Iceland. Thank you. This is crushing news about the Grendavik community as we think of the Grendavik residents, you, Icelanders, and everyone around the world who holds a special place for Iceland. It is hard to watch and read about what is happening. Indiana, USA sends our thoughts for everyone's safety, strength and peace. I am sorry.
Stay safe and thanks for the update. Not what we hoped for and my heart goes to the people of Grindhval and everyone else affected. Love to Iceland from 🇳🇴
Hurts to hear the sadness in your voice, I’m so sorry for the town in such danger. We can hope this fissure system dies out soon.. but I know there are other issues to contend with in that area. ❤❤❤❤❤
I’m so pleased that you updated every day with news, unfortunately very sad see this beautiful land destroyed by nature, which was created by them .Always I follow volcanos , but it’s incredible how government try to protect and preserve the town and care the people on Grindavik. Stay safe Gylfy and thanks again for your excellent coverage.🙏🇨🇦
So sorry for the residents of Grindavik. Such sad news. 😢
Appreciated!
Iceland used to pump water onto the lava, strategically of course. This solidified it and built up a wall to divert the lava away from the town. I know it was another town and the situation must have been different. But there was no attempt shown here. Maybe it was considered. If not then get on with it
My thoughts are with you and all of those affected from Grindavik...such devastating news. Stay safe in Reykjavik...God bless...
Incredibly sad and frustrating. We can hope for a miracle.
❤ my heart goes to all people from Grindavik , best regards from Sweden 🇸🇪
Greetings. Thank you for your update, we send our well wishes and prayers to you and your follow countrymen. Stay safe.
So very sorry for your losses. This is terrible for Grindavik. 🥀
Your updates illustrate both the physical and emotional impact of the eruption. And for that we thank you. Best regards.
Very sad. 😢 Praying for the residents, animals and infrastructure of Grindavik and surrounds. 🙏 Very sad that the missing construction worker has not yet been found. Praying for a miracle. Travel safely on the wintery roads. God Bless and protect you and all those affected by this volcanic eruption. Stay safe.🙏🇮🇸🌋❣
So sad to see this :'( My heart goes out to all the people affected. Stay safe!
Thank you for detailed reporting. I hope your community will cope and resolve to an outcome that can move forward in wholeness.
Thank you Gylfi for your great work and feedback. Good luck with all the challenges, care and tesponsibility. You are in our hearts and Prayers. Rosa from Gauteng. SA
Thank you so much!
Heartbreaking scenes. Poor people of Grindavik living with so much uncertainty for so many months, and just when it was looking like disaster was avoided, they now suffer again. Looking at your 3D rendition of the town it is very sad to see the path the lava will take and the houses that are in danger's way. Thank you for your reporting. Our hearts go out to the people of Grindavik.
Thank you Gylfi! I'm so sorry for the people of Grindavik!
Gylfi, thank you for the update. Stay safe on your trip, you are more precious than any video. ❤️🕯🙏
Ive followed the livestream since daylight on 14th of january from when one of the nearby roads got overrun by the lava and a few houses on fire.
Nature has it's way but it is indeed sad for everyone affected by the lava flow.
Stay strong in these trying times ✨
Thank you for your updates, Gylfi. This is tragic. Prayers for your safety as you report and the security of the town and its citizens.
Such sad news. I'm so sorry for how bad it has gotten for the townspeople of Grindavik.
All of the best to you in this disaster time. I pray for all the people who suffer from this. God bless.
Gylfi, I'm terribly sorry to learn of the lava in Grindivik, with the destruction of homes. I hope you stay safe, and I send love from the USA.
Sending love and light to your beautiful homeland…
Ich wünsche den Menschen viel Glück! Es tut mir für jeden leid der jetzt gerade sein lebensmittelpunkt verliert!
The machinery operators have serious courage driving that digger along the wall when the larva was against it. Hopefully it will stop before the larva does too much damage
Heartfelt prayers go out to all of you in Ice Land, please stay safe and thank you so much for keeping us informed
I saw the news this morning and it made me sad. Sorry to hear. All my love from Scotland.
I hope there is no more casualties! Towns can be rebuild, but no life can be replaced. Sure its sad to loose your familiar places, but at least it is no ones fault. Nature is nature, and little we can do to fight back. Love and strength to all of you in Volcano Island!❤🩹
Very bad situation.. Stay safe.
